It's that time of year again as Nasa makes his list and checks it twice to find out the Top 10 LPs of 2011 according to Uncommon Radio.  We won't have any spoilers here, no tracklist this time out, you're going to have to listen to the show to find out numbers 10 through 1.  This years list is one of the strongest in recent memory and Nasa gets into the close call he had to make at Number 1.  All the beats played during the episode are by Nasa.  Happy New Year!

For this special milestone episode, Nasa is joined by Short Fuze in person in NYC as they took a break from doing a show and starting work on their new album together.  The two discussed their current work along with their previous releases and inspirations.  They also talked about "Save the Horn", Uncommon's new pop up album, which is dedicating all proceeds to Eastern African Famine Relief.  You can find out more about that project here http://uncommonrecords.bandcamp.com/album/save-the-horn.  It only takes a $5 donation to score 16 dope songs, 3 of which are played on this episode.  Lots of other great music was played as well, check it out below:
